IIRC there are 3 table fog methods: linear, exp and exp2. ATI drivers not emulate all 3? P.S. Can someone code and compile a simple test program for pixel fog? DX SDK 6.1 - 9.0с (June 2010) are available...

SSTV2_BACKPORCH=0x21002E? The trouble is -- this variable affects all resolutions and all refresh rates... P.S. http://darwin-3dfx.sourceforge.net/voodoo2.pdf, part 13. Looks like the hardware adds 2 CLK to the hBackPorch value in the register...

IMHO Voodoo2 uses wrong timings for the horisontal backporch. P.S. Glide2x sources for Linux, glide2x\svg\init\sst1init.h, SST_VREZ_640X480_60: 38, /* hBackPorch */ The correct value is 48.

So the demos of both Fifa & NHL 99 had SGL support but it was removed in the release? FIFA 99 installs powervra.dll, ragea.dll and veritea.dll. Rage and Verite are forced to d3d in 3ddata.dat. PowerVR isn't. IMHO -- FIFA 99 can be named as SGL compatible. NHL 99 has powervra.dll, ragea.dll and …

The theory: static linked games can't use the hub architecture (Intel 8xx and later). The code checks the bus 0 only. And fails the card detection (the hub architecture uses 02 for PCI slots, 01 for the AGP slot and 00 for integrated devices). I not have a Voodoo Graphics so can't test. The theory …

well i've never heard of either of those codecs, but I don't see any reason to use WMP or pot player these days. CVID is Cinepak. CRAM is MS Video1. Win9x era games have used both often. About WMP11.
